Our surroundings are so important, because the atmosphere we live and breathe has such an affect on us. With that in mind, it's easy to see why so many people put a lot of thought and care into the design and atmosphere of our living space. And, of course, put equal thought into the nursery or bedrooms our children live in.

Before becoming a parent, I was quite the perfectionist. Over the first three years of marriage to my husband, I learned to let go a little bit. I'll admit I was particular enough to notice when something was just a little off, such as being moved an inch away from its proper place. In hindsight, it was like training. For being a parent. Baby E came along, and it felt like most of the inner perfectionist that still remained went flying out the window. There isn't anything like being dead beat tired to make you realize nothing is more important than sleep. Nothing. Suddenly all the things I had always taken care to put away and keep things tired didn't matter. Anything and everything was strewn about on any available surface to save precious moments that could be better spent catching up on rest. But then of course from time to time, I'd look around and it would hit me like a brick wall. The place was a mess. Had there been a natural disaster that had barreled through the center of our home when I hadn't been looking?

I have since come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as too many places to store things. Whether they are drawers, closets, Rubbermaid bins, toy boxes, shelves, or coat racks... the more places one has to easily keep things in order, the better!

Allow me to introduce you to Paul Coconut. A brand of Six Point Un, Paul Coconut designs unique, quality wall hooks to add to your baby's nursery or child's room. Meet Steeve, Jimmy, Alfred, and Guy---the adorable gang that make up the Paul Coconut wall hook collection!

Not just for a kids room, these diverse wall hooks can be used for a wide range of purposes, from hanging bath towels on, to using for tools, oven mitts, coats, purses, and more. They are available at the affordable price of $15 each! Each hook requires only two screws to install, and the screws are very thick giving them strength to support a considerable amount of weight. My husband and I were both pleased with installation, which only took a few moments with his electric drill.

As I'm sure many parents can relate, my diaper bag is quite possibly heavier than my very heavy toddler. I have taken to storing my diaper bag on "Guy" in our hallway, and let me tell you, unlike my coat rack, Guy does not get bent out of shape (literally) about it. And unlike my husband, Alfred is always happy to hold shopping bags! We couldn't be happier with the flexibility and functionality of these beautiful wall hooks. They are a lovely addition to our home! I hope to see new Paul Coconut products in the future---perhaps some new characters and different size options!

"Green your life and your wallet.Did you know that wool dryer balls work like magic to keep your laundry fluffy, without coating your clothes in animal fat that store-bought dryer sheets leave behind? They're simple to make and a fun craft project for kids, too. And did you know 7 million trees are cut down annually for the paper cups your coffee is served in? Recycle a jelly container from home and you will save an entire forest while getting lots of compliments on your coffee jar.

Top eco-blogger and new parent Madeleine Somerville has gathered completely original ideas on how to save money and the planet, and have fun in the process, in "All You Need Is Less." Learn how to create and not just consume! This guide to the guilt-free green life is packed with dozens of DIY ideas from shampoo and eco-cleaners, worm compost your garden will love, yummy recipes and even homemade holiday gifts and decor. You'll wonder how you ever lived without this book!"

All of this can be read on the back of the book, and is certainly a great summary of its contents."All You Need Is Less" does not waste time, and is as humorous as it is informative right from the start. No beating around the bush here! Madeleine gets straight down to business. The matter-of-fact but nonjudgmental nature of this book is sure to appeal to any budding "crunchy" person looking to make their lifestyle more "green." You will not find any---as she puts it---eco-shaming in this book. Only easy and creative tips to help make your life a little more earth-friendly, without becoming an eco-holic in the process (I just made up that word myself, thank you very much).

Since watching a little cartoon on PBS between commercials while I was watching Sesame Street (it was a very long time ago, just in case you were wondering)---which showed a fish in a lake with less and less water as a child left the sink on in the bathroom while brushing their teeth... a light bulb went off on my head that's just gotten brighter over the years. From starting my family on recycling, to taking a shine to locally made products, I've come a long way since I was the little girl in front of the TV watching PBS. But I've always laughed about the fact that a lot of people that could be viewed as "eco extremists" by the general public would never view me as a "hippie." I don't have dreadlocks, I've never smoked or had a single drink in my life, and I have only ever given up showers for a few days when Baby E was an uncooperative newborn. I also don't wear sandals made from cork, or sport t-shirts with environmental messages. I consider myself to be just a regular person, but with a concern for the planet that I share with my current generation, and that we are responsible for until handed over to our children.

Back to the book. Unlike many experiments or lifestyles that will be too extreme and impractical for the average reader, "All You Need Is Less" is written for the average person. It's witty and light-hearted, and only offers tips and ideas to make your life more eco-friendly without changing every facet of your life. Instead these tips and tricks are ways to incorporate green living into your day-to-day life effortlessly (or, well, pretty close). Something that will appeal to many is that it's written a lot like a well-written fiction novel, with a style that makes it easy to sit down and read cover-to-cover. There are a lot of eco-friendly books written in a very dry manner that make them hard to take more than a page at a time. So the writing style of Madeleine Somerville is like a breathe of fresh air. I found myself reading through the first chapter completely absorbed in it! I am still reading the book, and am enjoying every minute of it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone new to the green scene, or even someone who's been trying to live an earth-friendly lifestyle for many years like myself, but could always use a few new tips and tricks.

To pick up a copy today, you can conveniently order it from Amazon.com! If you would like to learn more about the author, go to Madeleine Somerville's website.

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
I adore wearing beautiful lacy or embroidered bras. I can be wearing a simple outfit, but still feel more dressed up just because I know I'm wearing pretty underwear! When I was pregnant with Baby E, I was disappointed to find that all the bras locally available were pretty dull. Not only that, but cute maternity apparel in general was not easy to come by.

Without another feasible option, I settled on some bland clothing items and bras from a local maternity chain store. I wasn't terribly happy with them, they were not pretty at all. Post baby, my skin became even more sensitive than it was already, and what I owned was terribly itchy and uncomfortable. I had also gone up a cup size, so they no longer fit. So my search for the perfect nursing bras started.

Luckily, there are quite a few options for beautiful nursing bras such as HOTmilk Lingerie! As I've already mentioned, I have a soft spot for bras featuring gorgeous lace or lovely embroidery, so of course I adore the Dawn Nursing Bra. A black bra with intricate nude embroidery, it's the perfect bra for a date night, or to make you feel great wearing any day of the week. There is also a beautiful matching Dawn bikini brief. I was very happy with the quality, and the design is thought-through well, reflecting that they truly are made to be functional for nursing mothers. The only feature of this bra that was not for me, was the no-wire
design. I'm a wire-lined bra girl through and through, and I have never
been able to get over that! The Dawn nursing bra design is amazing, and
I'd love to see HOTmilk Lingerie make a wire-lined version of this bra. I'd love to try one of their lined bras, such as the Her Desire Was Dangerous nursing bra to see how it compares.

Mamas will be happy to know this bra, which starts at a 32B, is offered up to a 42H! As a mama with a bigger bust myself (38E), I know how hard it is to find nursing bras that fit, what to speak of looking nice. But not to worry, HOTmilk Lingerie has you covered!

Pros:1) Breathable lining made from 100% cotton. 2) Wire-free design makes it a great choice for those who find that wire-lined bras dig into their skin and make them uncomfortable. 3) Wider strap widths to offer optimal support necessary for larger busts. 4) Instead of the standard of 3 rows of hooks for the bra clasp, this bra features 6 rows allowing the bra to grow with you. 5) This full coverage bra provides the comfort and support exactly where you need it. 6) Low cut in the front allows it to be worn with v-neck shirts or dresses with low necklines!

Cons:1) Wire-free feature is not for everyone. 2) The bows on the straps can show through as little lumps depending on the clothing worn over it (however, it is very easy to remove them with scissors or a seam ripper).

With over 25 bra styles, and sizes from 30A to 42H, HOTmilk Lingerie has something for every mom-to-be or nursing mother. The prices range from as low as $25 for a sale item, to $57.95. They are competitively priced with other nursing bras on the market, and a great overall value. It's not hard to see why so many expectant and nursing mothers choose HOTmilk Lingerie!

Spring Amazing Comfort Sweepstakes

With Special Thanks to...

Did you know that 1 in every 4 Americans experiences chronic back pain? With many of us now spending our days sitting at a computer, even more of us are suffering from back pain, leading many of us to spend hundreds of dollars a year on pain relief products. Most of these products are built on a one-size-fits-all model and don't deal with the overall issue - supporting the lower back. To properly deal with pain and relieve muscle fatigue, you need a product that contours to and supports the lower back. Luckily, there is a product on the market that does just that - the QiPillow!

What is so unique about this pillow? Unlike other orthopedic pillows, the QiPillow contours to the lower back using its own unique air-controlled orthopedic core. By inflating and deflating the pillow, it can adjust to the contours of your back, and lessen or eliminate muscle fatigue and back pain. Since it can be completely deflated, it can easily be folded and thrown in a bag, allowing you to use it at home, in the office, or even while driving. The QiPillow had great results in independent clinical studies, which showed that the QiPillow helped 91% of users improve sitting comfort and posture while relieving back pain, stiffness, and fatigue. With the QiPillow, you can take control of your back pain, allowing you to relax and enjoy the things you love!

Would you love to learn more about the QiPillow? Due to popular demand, the QiPillow is coming back to QVC on April 15! Join host Jaque Gonzales and the inventor of the Qipillow, Patrick Lee, as they discuss this revolutionary pillow and how it can help you. You may even find this pillow even cheaper than its recommended price of $49.95! So mark your calendar and make sure to check out the QiPillow on QVC's Active Aging on April 15 between 1 - 2 PM ET!

To celebrate the QiPillow returning to QVC, Mom Powered Media is excited to be working with QiPillow on this awesome giveaway! One of our lucky readers will win a $250 Amazon Gift card, which they can use to make their life even more comfortable. To learn more, make sure to read the rules below and the enter through the Rafflecopter.

#SummerDreams Good Grillin' Sweepstakes

This year was a weird winter. And I'm pretty sure there's a lot of you that can say that, no matter where you live. But finally it seems to have really come to an end! Winter seemed longer than usual here in Alberta, but it has warmed up drastically in the last few weeks. Although the ice and snow hasn't completely melted yet, I'm personally dreaming of the green grass, budding trees, and the whole smell of spring. Summer isn't quite my cup of tea here, as it tends to get very hot, and I just don't like weather that's sweltering! But one of the few things I really enjoy in the summer is picnics and barbeques. Well, today I bring to you a sweepstakes for a grill to call your own!

Disclaimer: The participating bloggers were not compensated for this post. No purchase is necessary to enter. One entrant per household, per address. Void where prohibited by law. Winner(s) will be contacted by email and have 48 hours to respond before a new winner is chosen. The sponsor(s) will be responsible for product shipment to winner(s) of this sweepstakes. This event is in no way administered, sponsored, or endorsed by, or associated with, Facebook and/or Twitter, Google, Pinterest.

Matcha. I've talked about it before, and I'll talk about it again! This is a staple in my household... maybe even a borderline obsession. Matcha is green tea leaves ground into a fine powder. I love green tea as it is, but matcha takes it to a whole other level. Somehow it brings out the best flavor, and makes it amazing. You can use matcha to make lattes, smoothies, homemade ice cream, or even for baking.

Discover the many joys of matcha with Kiss Me Organics. Their organic matcha powder is culinary quality. I have never been able to find matcha in a store that has the same quality as the matcha used by Jamba Juice or Starbucks. But now I have! The Kiss Me Organics matcha is smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. It's absolutely amazing! Matcha has many benefits I knew nothing about until I read about them on the packaging of my Kiss Me Organics matcha when it arrived in the mail. Many people regularly drink green tea to enjoy its health benefits. Matcha has 137x the antioxidants of brewed green tea! This USDA certified organic matcha also boasts many other benefits, such as providing all day energy, improving memory, increasing focus, boosting metabolism, and improving skin health.

This high quality matcha has me so hooked, I've been treating myself to a homemade matcha latte every afternoon. Not sure how to use your matcha? No problem! When you purchase Kiss Me Organics matcha, they email you a free recipe book filled with easy-to-follow instructions on how to make all kinds of goodies with your matcha. In the past, my matcha lattes using matcha from other brands always resulted in a poorly mixed product with little blobs of matcha floating at the top. Not only is that unattractive, but it also results in an uneven taste of the drink. The recipe for the matcha latte was absolutely genius, and provides you with a perfect matcha latte every time.

As you can read on the packaging, there are many perks to drinking matcha!

To store my matcha, I keep it in the vegetable bin at the bottom of my fridge.

As you can see, the Kiss Me Organics matcha bears the USDA certified organic seal!

New Mom, New Year is over, but we have an exciting new giveaway for you! I love arts and crafts of all sorts, and I was fortunate enough to grow up with a mother who was a graphic designer, and had all kinds of neat things around which she acquired while in college. One of those things was a laminator, which we used for all types of things---both practical and just for fun. So I bring to you the giveaway for this laminator made by Swingline!

I have wanted a laminator for what seems like forever, so when I was asked to review the Swingline™ GBC® Fusion™ 1000L 12″ Laminator, 5 Minute Warm-up, 3 or 5 Mil (up to 4″ x 6″) I was excited. I also received Swingline™ GBC® EZUse™ Thermal Laminating Pouches to help get me started.

This is Swingline Laminator is easy peasy to work. Just turn it on and let it warm up. It takes about 5 minutes to warm up and there is a green light to alert you when the warm up is complete. It laminates at a speed of 13″ per minute, and allows you a maximum document width of 12″.

This is perfect for the home office or a mom who wants to laminate memories for the future. It is perfect for helping to preserve certificates, insurance policies, report cards, and even little hand prints on paper. Laminating creates the perfect display and is easy to use.

The EZUse pouches are the easiest to use thermal laminating pouches on the market. These provide outstanding lamination accuracy and UV protection. The helpful EZUse alignment guides, mil thickness icon, and directional arrow on every pouch helps simplify the laminating process.

I hope you guys have been enjoying the "New Mom, New Year" event I put together for you! But it doesn't end there. I have a few things still up my sleeve, and I will continue planning things for the future. One of these things, is this giveaway for an Aden + Anais "Up Up & Away" dream blanket. This giveaway was not sponsored by Aden + Anais, instead it was purchased by me and my co-hosts --- all for you.

Aden + Anais dream blankets are 5 layers of soft, pillowy muslin. Muslin is lightweight and breathable, making it a great option even for newborns, giving parents a peace of mind. It's nature makes it practical even in the warmer weather, and perfect for the mild temperatures of spring!

One lucky winner will win this Aden + Anais dream blanket in "Up Up & Away." Winner will be responsible for paying shipping. Open to the US & Canada. Please read the rules below, and then enter to win! Good luck!
